Sound Of Silence - Straight Line Stitch

My plight has have fallen on deaf ears

But you don’t hear

In shallow graves we lay

Living as we all decay

I bury all remarks

But they lay waiting in the dark

I feel your hands around my throat

I feel your hands around my throat

I can’t live life

I can’t live life this way, I can’t carry the weight

I can’t live life

I can’t live life this way, I cannot compensate

Your oppression cuts me to the bone

I’ve always known

I’m not heard but there are

Only so many words

I bury all my remarks

But they lay waiting in the dark

I feel your hands around my throat

I feel your hands around my throat

I can’t live life

I can’t live life this way, I can’t carry the weight

I can’t live life

I can’t live life this way, I cannot compensate

You can’t hold me down

I stand my ground, yeah, yeah

My plight have fallen on deaf ears

But you don’t hear

In shallow graves we lay

Living as we all decay

I bury all remarks

But they lay waiting in the dark

I feel your hands around my throat

I feel your hands around my throat

I can’t live life

I can’t live life this way, I can’t carry the weight

I can’t live life

I can’t live life this way, I cannot compensate, compensate
